Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    That may be true in some part, though I think people on Hexbear tend to conflate any criticism of their personal takes on leftism as an attack on leftism as a whole. However, in this case he did specify the “vocal” aspect of Hexbear. So I think you’re just being a little oversensitive.

      I can’t say I agree with there being anything particularly out of the norm with Hexbear beyond their leftism, so when people describe them as “almost completely unhinged” in particular, that sets off red flags.

        Eh… Imo they tend to be very small tent about their leftism. Anything that runs against the popular grain can get you blocked or get you told you’re a dirty lib.

          That’s true of all groups, though, hsving a relatively cohesive range of acceptable opinions. What sets Hex apart is the leftism.
